Day 16: Thursday Island
October 7, 2005
By the morning, we were all
rested and ready to explore our new "home". Amie and Tonia had
an appointment to visit a school on Horn Island as part of Reach
the World's program, and Todd
and I had to take the ferry across the channel to Thursday Island
to check out the Internet situation. While we were waiting for
the ferry, the local School Boat pulled up to pick up the high
school kids.
Once we got into town, Todd and I found
Thursday Island a very quiet little place. There were a few colorful
little shops, and a small grocery store run by Australian hippies.
While Todd did his laundry, I found a small computer store offering
Internet access for $6 per hour. I was happy.
